At Akris, it was simple…Fall is all about the coat (and the bag.) Designer Albert Kriemler showed us many beautiful variations, double-face wools, cashmere trenches, shearling, and taffeta parkas. Some were layered, others were shown as as wearable art, inspired by Vancouver Artist, Rodney Graham’s self-portrait “Coat Puller" prints.

Andrew GN, went globetrotting for inspiration with fabulous tribal prints on rich velvets, satins and jacquards, incredible embroidery, fur and feather trims, and the most fantastic jewel-tones.

At Guy LaRoche, Creative director Adam Andrascik was inspired by old photographs of the maison’s haute couture collections.

His 80’s-90’s looks included layered chiffons, flowing satins, and asymmetrical hemlines, on lots of bright colors (think fuchsia and bright blue) for Fall.

The sexy ladies have a tailored side too: wide-legged trousers, smart suits, and aviator jackets with faux fur trim. We love it.
